SAN FRANCISCO  President Barack Obama went to the West Coast to meet donors from two top Democratic super PACs, but the press wasnt invited. Tuesday, the reporters and photographers traveling with the president on Air Force One and in his motorcade were left on the gravel path not even within sight of former Costco CEO Jim Sinegals house in the Seattle suburbs where Obama sat for a Senate Majority PAC fundraiser with a $25,000 entrance fee.

Wednesday morning, when he met with big donors for the House Majority PAC at the Four Seasons hotel in downtown San Francisco, they werent even told what room or floor he was on.

We think these fundraisers ought to be open to at least some scrutiny, because the presidents participation in them is fundamentally public in nature, said Christi Parsons, the new president of the White House Correspondents Association. Denying access to him in that setting undermines the publics ability to independently monitor and see what its government is doing. Its of special concern as these events and the donors they attract become more influential in the political process.

I think he should have to punch (slap, in his case) a time ock logging 60 hours minimum each week, detail in reports his work and progress and work by MBO (management by objective) and yes, no effing funny business schilling for his party on taxpayer dimes(pennies after taxes).

They sign a presidential plan listing his specific objectives for a term, for each year and report his accomplishments, while explaining his failures in a lengthy report monthly, quarterly and each year.

His reports should detail his direct influence, actions and demonstrate his hand on the tiller.

Finally, all good executives must detail what their improvement objectives are over a previous year and outline a concrete plan to achieve his goals.

If he wants to fly Airforce 1, then he should be given some leeway, like most executives, based on his accomplishments.

All other use should come right out of his paycheck.

The Democrats charge other Democrats $25,000 a head to see Obama. Why, $25,000 would turn on the water at 100 Democrat voter houses in Detroit! I do believe that if fifty of these Democrat donors gave that $25,000 bribe, I mean donation, to the water department in Detroit, those 4,000 Democrat voter houses in Detroit could have their water turned back on. The Democrats are willing to spend $25,000 apiece to see Obama rather than help out the dry people of Detroit? That doesn’t seem very compassionate.
